Java regex support groups. The Java code to use regex is different
than Perl, but that is to be expected.
Another question. Is there any java equivalent of Perl hash/db
files? I want
to store a few pieces of data on the disk.
In Java you would typical use a database through the standard
JDBC interface.
This is not quite (or at least usually is not) equivalent
functionality. With JDBC, you typically do not have control
over where the data files are written, but with Berkeley DB,
you do. (Of course, there are some relational databases
where you can create a new instance easily and you do have
control, but not in many cases.)
Whether the original poster needs that is an unknown, though.
There are plenty of databases where you can specify location
of files. All the embedded ones.
The JDBC API is much different from BDB (at least that is
my impression - I have not worked with BDB myself).
But the tradition in the Java world is to use JDBC and
not any special API's.
It is usually a bad practice to try and move 1:1 from one
language to another.
Coding Java in Java and Perl in Perl is better than Java in Perl
and Perl in Java.
